Hey All
Just thinking outloud .......has anyone ever fitted a different body to a Sierra chassis? Have seen the other models of Duttons with reshaped bodies ,was just wondering.........

I am sure somebody somewhere has, I personally have never seen one.
If you are thinking of buying one and having a go there is plenty of scope as from the turrets back to the kick up for the axle it is a flat chassis. However its never going to be a lowrider... the chassis was designed to give ground clearance so will lend itself to anything thats 'off road'.

Looking at the identifying pics ,mines a series 3 ,footwells ,and arch return lips etc . Great fun ,doesnt bother me what others think of them ,even tho' I know they arent held in high regard! Use it for a run around ,to save using my other car.Can park it antwhere ,not bothered about scratching it ,doesnt rot etc ,just a hack really!Have modded the front/backend,roof rack over cab,Metro seats etc.

I have a series 3 but its been off the road for about ten years now. This winters project I think...
